Right. This work lark ain't particularly conducive to blogging. Who knew? Still, as I do occasionally send out the odd random tweet, I thought I'd use this medium to bring you up to speed. I know, I know, it's cheating, but Mr Tin has been complaining that this is the only medium through which he finds out what I'm up to.

I only hope new job won't involve making too many decisions, as it's taken entire w/e to work out what to wear on 1st day (still undecided).

Even 10 years on you can still rely on an office sleaze to message with a totally inappropriate message via Linkedin re new job...

Every single pair of work trousers I own appears to suddenly be too big. Excuse to eat more cream cakes, or go shopping...?

Yeah. Jinxed it.

I may have confidently declared that we were "getting in a good routine" yesterday. Famous last words so sick child throws spanner...
